This is a community for all those stories, long or short, complete or incomplete, in which Harry finds a mentor in one form or another, be it Snape, Dumbledore, Lupin, Sirius, McGonagall, a Weasley, or even an OC. Some of the stories have the mentor relationship as the main theme, but others cover wider issues such as abuse, parent/son relationships, and the little matter of defeating an evil and powerful Dark Lord.

Blood stained hands by TalksToMirrors reviews
They weren't supposed to find out, that much was clear to both of them. But now that they had there was nothing in the world that would stop them from trying to fix it. Sirius and Remus notice the blood soaking through Harry's sleeve after a brutal detention with Umbridge. Written in a rush and late, afraid it'll get messy.
